    Of course... no need to brag with the latest model when you're locked down at home :) Maybe you also rather use your tablet, computer or watch tv when not "on the way". Physical shops are closed and many people have to deal with less money... a lot of reasons to hold on with their current smartphone and postpone the purchase of a new one.

      XIAOMI is going to dominate future sales in Europe, I hope they dont get too ambitious with the pricing.

              A boost in sales occurred in the last few weeks in USA. Sadly for companies, no profit was made. But the phones disappeared from stores.

                Pretty sure that’s to be expected given the situation. Surprised it’s not more a lot of people are doing it tough

                  Meanwhile Google and Nokia 2 major brand with stock Android don't have enough market share to be on the list, Nokia/HMD can't even be the top 3 in their own country.

                        Even with serious pandemic, it's still a shame that HMD is not the champion in its home market
